This is my first real gun & i still have it now. I've done alot of a body work with various tools including a file, grinder, dremel, alot of sandpaper, and a hack-saw. I've taken off the rear sight including the bolt over the body because in my opinion was useless. I took the rail off in the middle because if you take off the whole thing the rod will fall out. I've cut out the metal guarding the vertical adapter because this was also useless and the adapter is pretty tough. I've also done popular milling like the PUSH SAFE lettering, the TIPPMANN 98 CUSTOM lettering, and the foregrip grooves. The feedneck has been ported to stop blowback or something. The internals are polished & the frame has a new paint job. I have done the "Pen spring" mod which works very well. It has a bike grip, Dead on Pro double trigger, vertical adapter, and a SP Progressive for aftermarket parts.

custom work 9/10 would be 10 but every body does the same mill jobs(but u did do a crazy good job) paint (color 0/10, looks like the color of the hippies shack down the road) actual paint JOB is good though, looks really smooth a shiny. 7/10 overall because color sucks but work is done well paint it diff. color and it will be a mother ------------- 98% of paintballers act gangsta', if you are of the 2% that are normal, put this this in your sig. 98c r/t flatline superfly bolt mini drop revvy w/xboard rear cocking trigger mods |

Thanks alot guys i appreciate the comments. Yeah it did take a long time and i admit i could've done better with the miling/paint job but over time you just want to get the thing done. The asa will be changed to a Shocktech mini drop + Shocktech ASA later on that was temporary. About the bike grip? I love it, dont hate; appreciate. Thanks though---- |
